HERRICK Ready To “Cry Memphis'
Tight Harmonies and Well-Crafted Songs Characterize Herrick

Nashville, TN (September 14, 2009) --- International Acoustic Group of the year, Herrick is so fresh and so original, it nearly defies description.

With intricate harmonies and a distinctive sound that combines the best of country, rock and blues, Herrick is nothing short of compelling. Full of heartfelt lyrics, their music is dynamic and appealing, real and earthy.

With a new album slated for November, Herrick releases the moody and vocally-rich single, “Cry Memphis,” co-written by Herrick and co-writer David Walker and produced by Buddy Cannon.

"We found our music didn't appeal to just one kind of crowd like the cowboys or the jocks, and that's because we write songs that are real and a reflection of how we are feeling musically at that time," says Kerry.

Kerry adds, "We don't write to a template or try and calculate how a tune might sell in some market. It just comes out of us naturally as we pull a song together. It’s very organic."

"Of course it's great when someone comes up and tells you how much one of your songs touched them," Donna chimes in. "But we write music for us first, because we love it. It's the only way we know how to make music.”

Herrick is one of the most requested bands in the Nashville area. Citing influences like Ryan Adams, Ricky Skaggs, Boston, Merle Haggard, The Eagles, Emmylou Harris, Rush, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, Herrick has a flavorful recipe for a brand new musical blend.

The band is passionate about dynamic live performances, and they play with boundless energy and originality. With more than 2,500 shows in their career, Herrick has sold more than 20,000 CDs independently.

"Everyone in our band is able to burn his instrument down to the ground," notes Kerry, matter-of-factly. "We are blessed with the people we play with. They are just top notch."

“Cry Memphis” impacts radio today, just before Herrick launches a promotional tour of the Pacific Northwest. Their new album is slated for release in early November.
